Polymer networks with dynamic bonds, also known as covalent adaptable networks (CANs) combine the superior mechanical properties and chemical resistance of thermosets with the ability to be reprocessed, a feat formerly ...

A novel set of dual-curable multiacetoacetate-multiacrylate-divinyl sulfone ternary materials with versatile and manipulable properties are presented. In contrast to common dual-curing systems, the first stage polymer ...

Thiol-click reactions are widely used in the preparation of thermosets. The network build-up process follows step-wise polymerization behavior, which is commonly analyzed assuming ideal step-wise behavior using well- known ...

Imine-based vitrimers were prepared from synthesized diimine-dimethacrylate monomer derived from biobased vanillin. First, a methacrylate derivative starting from vanillin was synthesized. The diimine derivative was ...

Dual curing is the methodology for obtaining thermosets by combining two different and compatible polymerization reactions, taking place sequentially or simultaneously. Sequential dual-curing processing enables the preparation ...

The use of commercially available hyperbranched poly(ethyleneimine)s (Hbpei, LupasolTM, BASF) as curing agent of DGEBA has been studied. HBpei can react with epoxy monomers by an epoxy-amine condensation mechanism and get ...

3D-printable vitrimers processed by digital light processing (DLP) have been recently developed, based on the transesterification reaction of ß-hydroxyester structures from mono- and diacrylate monomers employed in the ...

The anionic homopolymerization of DGEBA epoxy resin and its anionic copolymerization with a bislactone was studied using two alternative tertiary amines, 1-methylimidazole (1MI) and dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) as initiators. ...
